Couple of days back, I had written about how I, having been conditioned by NBC’s coverage was surprised to find out that we were trailing China in gold and medal count in general. Which led to some interesting observations and comments from my friends including how China’s coverage is also one-sided and some analysis of who is leading in medals per thousand people of population and per dollar of GDP and such.
After reading all the comments, I came to realize the advantage of growing up in India. Since we could not win any medal by ourselves, we got to see all the great athletes from all the countries 🙂
